Ok...I have...fortunately...2 closets in my bedroom. In one I have summer...in the other i have fall....now...no matter what I wake up to I will be ok. It was only 5c this morning!

It will be colder still in the morning. Around here, it's going to be 2C degrees, which means there will be a frost. I covered my tomato plants up with sheets, as I have a lot of unripe tomatoes I don't want to lose. I did manage to pick 4 of them that are almost red. BTW, regarding those disappearing cookies.....you must have cookie gremlins in your house. Watch out for them, they are dangerous!

Connie, your room looks amazing! So organized, so clean and so easy to sit down and stamp! I need to make this a priority! My rooms are also littered with papers and my craft table layered 5 high with everything from papers, stamps, boxes, etc! Your backyard card is great1 I wish I had a rocking bench like that in my backyard.

OK - Stupid question of the day. Things have changed, and I don't think I ever truly grasped the concept of uploading cards around here. Can anyone walk me through it please? I.e. What's the main gallery, and what's the sub-gallery?

Sneaking in from retreat! Use main and sub gallery for SU or technique cards or skip that section otherwise!

It was cold last night but I was toasty under electric blanket! They love the masks Lynn!

I had the most amazing coffee time this morning.... Dea is in town I am so excited..
But to let you know how this morning started is just the best..
I went to pick her up her Mom's house.. rang the door bell. ...... and as the door opened our eyes all went to the spider sitting on the door about knee level...Dea screamed and dashed to the corner and her Mom calmly took the paper I had picked up at the door and killed it and then very matter of factly introduced herself... Dea in the corner was saying something about this was her Mom.... It was all so priceless and I am still smiling....
My introduction to Dea is cast in my memory and she is everything I envisioned.... We had a great coffee and have set up a date to go to our little craft store tomorrow..
Thanks Dea for all the tips and just the chatter.... I could have so easily used up your time here but I know these Mom's do need that love and support you give so freely so I will be satisfied and blessed with what I get. Will be looking forward to tomorrow ( but I will check the door before I ring the door bell...lol )

Kathy sneaked in while I was away!!!! And I am finally up! had breakfast about and hour ago...I hate days like this...poor Kerra makes noise...I take her out...fall back to sleep...Kerra makes noise...I take her out...fall back to sleep...CAT jumps on me...which means she wants food NOW...I fall back to sleep. UUGGHH now if only I was truly asleep!

My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration:
set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes,
cry, rant, and rave, and at the sound of the bell,
simmer down and go about business as usual.

Is it to late to upload a card for the weekly challenge? I wasn't sure of the time frame. I mean I know tomorrow starts a new challenge but am not sure when they end. I am a fan club member so I can upload on Sundays. Thanks

Christy, it's not too late. I figure you have until midnight today.....is that right ladies. Seeing as I am a newbie here too, I can't give a definitive answer.
Being a newbie and not always keeping up with the thread, I am curious.....Marion lives in Kelowna, and Dea lives in Ottawa. Is one of you visiting the other's province?

Oops, I didn't have to go very far back in the thread to find my answer!

Yes I live in Kelowna and Dea came to see her Mom who lives here and was kind enough to look me up, It is such fun to really meet the people you talk to on line.. Am just waiting for her call and guess what.. We are going to a craft store.. Go figure.....

Never too late to upload...we aren't doing points this round so upload and link us to your wonderful creations. I guess the only time it would be too late is after the challenge ends in November!

I was away and not able to remind Lynn, muzbysmom, that she's up this week. I think she said she wouldn't be able to post until Monday, so I'm pretty sure she remembered.

Hey Lynn...my friend was getting ready for bed on Friday night and mumbled something about forgetting something and she disappeared for a few minutes. I went out to the bathroom and when I came back she was in bed giggling, wearing an eye mask!! So I put the googly eyed one on you sent me and when our other friend came in the room, she laughed hysterically!! I think of you at every retreat.

Friday night we smelled skunk. Saturday night one friend went home to let out the dog and when she got back she was walking up to the backdoor and we heard this scream!! We all ran to the door...there was a garbage bag she had put outside without putting it in the can. A yellow cat had gotten into the bag and the bag started to move as she got to the door! We thought it was the skunk, luckily not!

Loved your story Kathy..too funny.. I can just imagine the reaction of you all...

I do have to tell you a secret... Dea is also a corruptor.!!!!!! I came home with a new die , some new stamps and 3 balls of wool.. lol..... Was such a nice time, and the iced coffee was just a great treat before she headed to her Mom's and the Borsch she is having for dinner!!!.

Now I have to decide do I play with my stamps and dies or knit!!!!!! ??????
